While not a local, I cannot highly recommend this place enough!!! Every year, my friend group and I would come here to eat dinner at the start of Gameholecon. A good beer, pretzels, and jaeger schnitzel was the perfect start to a long weekend of gaming and fun. I only just recently heard the news that they are closing after 42 years and I admit that upon hearing the news I felt a great depth of melancholy in my soul. This establishment had been the herald of a weekend to relax...
We visited Aug 9th. I think they had a special event the place was rocking! The food was AMAZING! 5/5. Never had spätzle before. It was VERY good. Very large selection of draught. Great entertainment. 100% going back next time we are in the area.
Been in business 42 years and I've had a lot of great German beer and food here. Sad to know they're closing soon as the location, including the entire block is slated for redevelopment.
